Ok, Rob, you're now responsible for replacing the keyboard on my laptop.
You did illustrate a reasonable objection to the
problem, but it was
surrounded in a load of incoherent gibberish ranting.
Actually, he didn't.
Because the problem is *not* "shouldn't some things which are now
written in Java be written in JS, etc, instead?", it's "There are
indisputably useful things which can *only* be written in Java for the
deployment environment being discussed", and he didn't solve that worth
a damn, alas.
